There was a time in comics when every book hitting the shelves from Marvel seemed to feature Wolverine, and now the publisher is taking things up a level by introducing a whole team of Wolverines.
Christos Gage and Yildiray Çinar will bring together Old Man Logan, Zombie Wolverine, Earth X Wolverine and more in Weapon X-Men, a four-issue miniseries that kicks off in March.
“Getting a chance to continue to explore the Marvel Multiverse in the pages of Weapon X-Men with the amazing Yildiray Çinar is the perfect Christmas gift!” Gage said. “A team of nothing but Wolverines…one of whom, Jane Howlett, has never been seen before? Against a threat from the pages of Original X-Men? With Yildiray Çinar, whose character acting is as brilliant as his action scenes and who has a George Perez-level of skill with crowds? Moving from one alternate Earth to another? Sign me up! We are packing a TON of action, story, character moments, pathos, and sometimes literally earth-shattering moments into these four issues, so don’t miss it!”
The comic spins out of The Original X-Men one-shot, which arrives in stores this week:
He’s the best there is at what he does, in every universe he does it in… and this job is too big for just one of him. Wolverines from across the Multiverse converge to take on a foe even the Phoenix fears! But with friends like Old Man Logan, Age of Apocalypse Wolverine, Zombie Wolverine, Earth X Wolverine, and newcomer Jane Howlett of Earth-1281, who needs enemies?
The first issue arrives in stores March 6.
